Railroad Accident
   The Mobile Tribune of Saturday says: "We are informed that a railroad accident occurred on the Southern {of Mississippi} railroad, running from Meridian to Jackson, Miss., on Wednesday night last, when running through a plantation near Tusclameta. The locomotive ran over a cow and a horse, which threw the train off the track, breaking every car, but fortunately doing no injury to any of the passengers. The engineer received some slight bruises. We are unable to gather any further particulars.
